The Catalog tab in my catalog says this:
The catalog "mycatalog" contains 30,345 record(s) in the path "/".
But when I sort and return a list of cataloged objects I only have 19,881.
Here is the script call to retrieve the records:
context.mycatalog.search( {}, sort_index='lastname' )
Why don't the numbers match up? Some of your objects don't have a 'lastname' attribute, and so when sorting, they get dropped.
Ah, now that's interesting...
Should we not consider this a bug and fix it?
Yes, this has bitten me before and I have a feeling I may have already submitted it as a bug somewhere. Google is your friend... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
